These three chapters deal with Abaku’s backstory prior to (Chs 1 & 2) and immediately following (Ch3) the first King arc. I translated these *before* the anime episode happened, but imo the manga execution is still more wrenching. The King MAX anime is… not very consistent.
By the way, the manga is being distributed for free (in Japanese) on the publisher’s site until Thursday night of this week!!
